Default Comp Ratio difference pistons for B18C1 go in to B16A?

I've got some 9:1 c/r pistons for a B18C1

What kind of Compression Ratio should I expect if I dropped them in a B16A?

What about the rods I have for a B18C? Will they drop in as well, or would I be changing the bore/stroke ratio?

Lower since the combustion chamber on a GSR is smaller. I think about point, .4-.5 lower. About 8.6:1

The rods are too long. The deck height on a GSR is higher than that of a B16. I'm sure you'd have valve piston contact.

Pistons on the B16A rods in the B16A block will run about .22 compression points lower with a B16A head.
As for GS-R rods, the piston would exit the block in the B16A block...
